Well over 100 Finds . . .

and still counting!

Sitting here after a few hours out in the driving rain, fog and cold while hunting for letterboxes on Thursday. We're back home in the cottages now - waiting for a special dinner - but more on that later! Another surprise for the group!

We hit the Moor on Tuesday where we did a Charity Walk - a special series of letterboxes put out for just a limited time where you pay the placer about $10 that is passed on the the particular charity of the placers choice. This walk was a series of 19 boxes but we were told, when the clues were emailed to me, that we should scavenge the area as well. We ended up finding the 19 for the walk and with the scavenged boxes ended the day with 53. Funny, though, I don't feel the sense of urgency to find boxes this visit as last. We've gotten our Dartmoor 100 patches last visit and looks like those of us that have returned will earn our 200 patches and newbies will garner their 100.

Wednesday evening we visited the Plymouth letterboxing group's monthly meeting. We had prewarned them of our arrival just so our crazy group wouldn't arrive taking them unaware. What a special evening! Our hosts were the best ever. And the meeting is held in a community center that had bar -pints of draft beer at 1.75 pounds ($3.50 approx.)

We'll post much more when we return but wanted you to realize that we are all alive and well and having a wonderful time! Enjoying the beauty of the Moor, the excitement of the hunt for boxes and the beer and food (like bangers & mash, fish & chips.) And the Moor Tor-ists are even crazier than the Bakers Dozen!!!
